Community Plugins
Health Checker's event-driven architecture makes it easy for anyone to create plugins that add custom health checks. This page lists third-party plugins built by the Joomla community.
What Are Community Plugins?
Community plugins are Health Checker extensions created by developers outside the core project. They use the same plugin API as the bundled integrations (Akeeba Backup, Akeeba Admin Tools) but are maintained independently by their authors.
Community plugins can:
- Add health checks for other Joomla extensions
- Monitor custom application-specific metrics
- Integrate with external services or APIs
- Define entirely new check categories
Available Plugins
| Plugin | Author | Description | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| YOOtheme Pro Health Checker | Alex Revo | Diagnostic tool for YOOtheme Pro Builder sites. Verifies server requirements, Joomla configuration, and YOOtheme Pro setup — identifying potential issues with actionable recommendations. | Website |
